The Robert Bosch Foundation Fellowship Program is a prestigious award that each year sends 20 young American leaders on a nine month, intensive professional development program in Europe. The program consists of two high-level work placements in major German institutions and three seminars taking place across Europe. Placements are customized to fellows’ interests, with past host organizations having included federal and local government institutions, private corporations, NGOs, media outlets, and cultural organizations. The three program seminars provide an opportunity for fellows to meet with key decision-makers from across Europe in fields such as public policy, private enterprise, media, arts and culture. The program provides a monthly stipend, all program-related travel, comprehensive health, accident and liability insurance, and German language training as needed. Knowledge of German is not required at the time of application. The annual application deadline is October 15. For more information, please visit: www.culturalvistas.org/bosch
